When you start parsing the sentences in your first grader's reader.

When you hire a thief to open your soft-boiled eggs.

When a pile of autumn leaves no longer means jumping in, but looking for 
grates.

When "42" is no longer a dreaded age, but the answer to Life, the Universe and 
Everything.

When someone says their child "grew" and you comment on their ability to 
withstand the light.

When you see the Pentagon as nothing more than "a maze of twisty little 
passages."

When the phrase "Bell, Book and Candle" conjures up an image other than Kim 
Novak in a black negligee.

When Floyd is no longer associated with Pink, but with a hunk of metal with 
an attitude.

Irrespectfully submitted.
